Artist Signature

The artist signature is the signature you would like to have appear on your artwork, which will be signed (using a signature machine) in pencil in the right hand corner of all limited edition prints below the artist image. Your artist signature will communicate your identity as a serious artist and should not use fonts or logos. This is a highly requested feature from our customers, who believe that artist signatures increase the value of the print. However, customers can opt out during purchase if they do not want a signature on their print. It can be quite different from the "hand-written name" we request for the top of your category page and your store, thus we are asking for a different file.

**If we do not have your Artist Signature on file, we may not be able to launch your winning art print, so please make sure that you upload this asset.**

You'll need to upload a file on a 100% transparent background. Please do not use a logo or a typeface.

How will the signatures appear on the pieces?

This is how the signature will look with a file you upload:

How to create and upload your artist signature:

1. Write the signature that you would like to have appear on your artwork on a piece of paper in a black pen. We ask that you use a black medium ballpoint pen (one with a ballpoint of approximately 1.0mm, and a line width of 0.4mm). Please do not use a gel ink pen, or re-trace your signature as it’s important that the width of the signature is consistent throughout.

2. Scan your name. If you don't have a scanner, options like FedEx/Kinko outlets exist that have scanners you can use for a small fee.

3. Open your scanned file in Photoshop.

4. Go to: 'Select' > 'Color Range…'

5. Eyedrop the darkest part of your signature.

6. Set the 'Fuzziness' bar to maximum (200).

7. Hit 'OK'. This will make a selection of your signature.

8. Go to 'Layer' > 'New' > 'Layer Via Copy'

9. Hide the layer that contains your original scanned image by clicking the eye icon next to the layer or going to 'Layer' > 'Hide Layers'
